Get involved in workplace safety advocacy and community action
MassCOSH offers opportunities to get involved in workplace safety advocacy, community organizing, training, and worker support efforts across Massachusetts.
Why it matters
Change happens when people take action together
MassCOSH’s work grows stronger when workers and communities participate. Getting involved helps build awareness, strengthen advocacy, support safer workplaces, and create lasting change.
Worker-centered advocacy
Policy and public action land differently when workers are in the room—sharing shop-floor stories, naming hazards, and steering what “safety” means in practice.
Community-based action
Neighbors, unions, faith groups, and local partners show up together—petitions, rallies, mutual support—so demands for safer work aren’t carried alone.
Training, outreach, and organizing
Trainings, tabling, phone trees, and follow-up turn one-off interest into sustained campaigns people can stay part of over time.
